Blocked by Anubis difficulty 6 after making a search in wiki

I visited the clang article on ArchWiki then used the search bar to find the article of GCC. GNU Compiler Collection was recommended on results so I clicked on it. Blocked by Anubis with difficulty 6 running for around 12 minutes as of writing and still hasn't completed. (EDIT: completed after around 15 minutes) Most websites use difficulty 2 or 4 and complete under a second. My calculation speed is around 21.000kH/s. My browser is Safari on macOS 15. A private tab on same device is also blocked by difficulty 6 Anubis. My phone which is on the same network receives difficulty 2 Anubis after a search. What can I do to not receive Anubis with difficulty 6 again?

Had the same issue, it's pretty much a lockout of older/slower devices...
You can try a User Agent spoofer, to get back down to difficulty 2.

Though there's probably a reason for this, it's rather annoying.

Re: Blocked by Anubis difficulty 6 after making a search in wiki

I can’t help with the blockade itself, but some search engines allow you to specify site on which you search for information. You may use that to find pages on Arch Wiki.

For example in DDG:
site:wiki.archlinux.org search terms
